Tech Shock - from Parent Zone

3. The ‘wicked problem’ of child financial harms


Listen Later

 Our 2023 research found that young people aged 13-18 spend over £50m online each week. But this financial autonomy could mean increased exposure to harms like scams, gambling, influencer marketing, and criminal exploitation. 

This week Vicki is joined by Maya Daver-Massion and Zixuan Fu, part of the security and online safety team at PUBLIC to shed more light on ‘child financial harms’. 

Talking points: 

  • What exactly makes child financial harms such a ‘wicked problem’ to solve?
  • Other sorts of harm are always on the radar. So why are finance-related harms so often overlooked?
  • Is systemic change needed to tackle child financial harms, and, if so, where do we start?
